Heh. Sometimes at an American comics convention I'll be sitting drawing a
picture of the Yukon $crooge (back when I drew pics in America, pre-eBay),
and a middle-aged woman would walk up, one of the Disneyana-zombies (as
opposed to the Marvel-zombies people always mention) who is not even aware
there have ever been Disney comics, and she'll look at what I'm drawing and
say, "Oh! Isn't that so CUTE!". And I'll look up and smile and say, "Lady...
this Duck would take your arm off with a Bowie knife in a barroom brawl.
Cute he ain't."

And as for all the compliments that Mr. Maciek lavished on me, all I can say
through my own computer-audio-translator is, "Thaenck yew virry mutch!"
